Lt. Williamson investigated a complaint of a large buck that was hidden under a tree near a construction site. The officer knew of an individual that was working on the building and had heard he had shot deer at night in the area in the passed. The CO, along with an officer from the municipal police department, watched the area that evening. At midnight, the officers observed a vehicle spotlighting along the road. The officers conducted a motor vehicle stop and observed the individual and his 10 year old son in the vehicle. They also observed a bow and arrows on the back seat. The son was operating the spotlight as his father drove slowly along the road. A summons for spotlighting with a weapon capable of killing a deer in the vehicle was issued.

NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife
Monthly Highlights
Bureau of Law Enforcement
Northern Region
While patrolling the Hackensack Meadowlands during the waterfowl season, Lt. Applegate and COs Kuechler, Sutton and Holmes encountered a group of hunters that included an individual had been apprehended last season for waterfowl violations. The officers observed the hunters shoot well beyond legal hours, and saw several Canada Geese downed, although the season for geese was closed. Unable to reach their location by boat, Lt. Applegate was able to locate their vehicle parked on a rail road bed. The officer waited as two individuals eventually approached the truck. As the officer announced himself, one individual started shouting about throwing everything in the water, fell to the ground, and clutched his chest as he claimed he was having a heart attack. As the officer was attending to the alleged victim, the second individual got in the truck and left the area by driving down the narrow rail bed. The first individual then admitted to the officer that he was not having a heart attack at all. A third individual and a 10 year old juvenile were then located at their boat. The second individual was apprehended after he was contacted via cell phone and convinced to return to the scene. This individual had to be driven back to the scene, as all four tires and rims on the truck were damaged and possibly a broken axle to the vehicle. Complaints for hunting after hours, possessing 91 lead shot rounds, taking 4 Canada Geese out of season, interference and several boating violations were signed.

CLET writes: "Hello fellow conservation law enforcement officers. I am an officer from the State of Victoria in Australia, and an associate member of NAWEOA.
I produce a bi-weekly (where possible) free podcast relating to conservation law enforcement called Conservation Law Enforcement Today.
A podcast is like an internet radio show that can be accessed from your computer. It can be played from the web site, downloaded to your computer, iTunes or to an mp3 player such as an iPod.
The show currently covers conservation law enforcement news, court results, a spotlight case and a website of the week. I hope to add some interviews in the future.
I cover news from around the world with a majority of stories from North America. In episode 4, I featured the NAWEOA website.
Feedback, news and stories are welcome from all.
